Bullion for immediate delivery lost as much as 0.5 percent to $1,274.45 an ounce, and traded at $1,277.80 at 9:06 a.m. in Singapore, according to Bloomberg generic pricing. The metal on Aug. 21 dropped to $1,273.14, the lowest level since June 18, as the minutes of the Fed’s last meeting signaled that policy makers may increase borrowing costs sooner than anticipated.
Gold on the Comex in New York wasn’t trading as CME Group Inc., the world’s largest futures market, halted all of its Globex electronic-trading markets except for Malaysian equity-index derivatives, it said on its website.
